What's the point of Dalrymple?

[Jim D]

Can't bat (2 and 3), can't bowl (going for 7+ an over, even against Canada). Why does he get a game? Has he got something on Vaughan and Fletcher?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

yet another in the long line of shit england spinners/ "all rounders"

Plays for Middlesex. Need you say more.

 

[BensGrandad]

Makes the numbers up and wears the right tie.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

yardy is streets ahead of him

 

[BensGrandad]

But wrong tie

 

[Stumpy Tim]

He can bat & he can bowl. Just not doing enough right now

 

[Gwylan]

Dalrymple went to public school and plays for Middlesex - he's obviously going to get in the side ahead of Yardy.

 

[Mrs Coach]

'Cos he's got a fantastic sounding name?

What's the point of Dalrymple?

Is this a trick question?

Is there a prize?

 

[crodonilson]

It's not fair to say his record over two games, since getting in the England team his record has been pretty decent with both bat and ball and probably stands up against the other players who have been playing in this period.

Plus, he's got one of the best second names around.

William Parker's a state school. Didn't Paul Watson go there?
